Re: Page breaker question: obeying explicit \breaks

[Mats Bengtsson]

Either use a separate identifier like
\mypagebreaks = {\skip 4*20 \pageBreak ...}
or use the \tag feature.

Note also that the page breaking algorithm in version 2.10 is much more 
clever
than in previous versions, so it should automatically try to place page 
breaks
when there is a long rest.
